A proposal taken to a whole new level of romance. This Valentine's Day, will see an innovative marriage proposal by a 35 year-old French man, Sebastian.

On Feb 14, 2013, Sebastian will be the first man to propose to his girlfriend in Space, at an altitude of 30 kilometers. The space flight will be entirely filmed, from the launch to the arrival of the message of love in the stratosphere.

For 4,990 euros (R60,785), this romantic French man decided to call on the services of a French company ApoteoSurprise, a romance expert specialized in planning spectacular marriage proposals in Paris.

But forget Paris, Space will feature a  picture of the couple and the message "Vanessa, will you marry me?" - attached to a giant helium-filled balloon and released into the sky. Video recording equipment will be attached to the set, to capture the message and the view of the earth beneath it.

The space flight will be entirely filmed, from the launch to the arrival of the message of love in the stratosphere.

After two or three hours, the message of love will arrive at an altitude of 30 kilometers, and the last footage shot will be with the planet in the background. The balloon will then blow up and a parachute will open so that the video equipment can fall back to Earth.

The footage recovered will be returned to the man to show to his girlfriend who will become the first woman being proposed in Space.

The scenario package "Say I love you in Space" is a new romantic experience available on www.proposeinparis.com, the official launch taking place on February 14, 2013.
 
The lady will then become the first woman being proposed in Space. Would she say 'YES'?
